Raúl Zibechi

The illuminating farewell of Subcomandante Marcos, written by Raúl Zibechi and originally published in Spanish by Diagonal (Madrid) on June 14, 2014.

The farewell communiqué of Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, read in the early morning of 25 May in the Caracol of La Realidad, in front of thousands of bases of support and people in solidarity from around the world, in which he announced his death and reincarnation (unburying, in the words of EZLN,) is one of the strongest and most powerful texts he has released in the twenty years since his public appearance on January 1, 1994.
